Here is a trimmed version of my lsmod output, if that helps....
I used grep to get rid of sound, nfs, and parport/gameport related stuff.

Just comparing, where are your firmware modules???
Did you download the firmware and put it in the appriopriate dir?
Does it show up as being loaded in dmesg?  

I see this in my dmesg:
nxt200x: NXT2004 Detected
DVB: registering new adapter (saa7133[0]).
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Nextwave NXT200X VSB/QAM frontend)...
nxt2004: Waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw)...
nxt2004: Waiting for firmware upload(2)...
nxt2004: Firmware upload complete
